...immune mechanism and the at tempts made to suppress it? After studying microscopic sections of the transplanted heart, Dr. Barnard said they showed only minimal evidence of rejection. But on the basis of a similar set of heart-tissue samples, a distinguished transplant team at London's Hammersmith Hospital, headed by Surgeon William J. Dempster, said that it found signs of "a moderately severe rejection reaction-more than just minimal." American pathologists who saw Barnard's slides were divided in their judgments. However the reaction is graded, its cause is still debatable. Some authorities blame nature...
There were some superb performances by the solo flute and obe. Their ensemble work with the solo clarinet in the trio of Gustav Holst's Hammersmith Prelude and Scherze was perhaps the most musically sensitive part of the concert...
There is no common name for what Dr. John F. Goodwin of the University of London and Hammersmith Hospital called "thromboembolic pulmonary vascular disorders." But these disorders, Dr. Goodwin told the Louisiana Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology, are extremely common. In their most dramatic and catastrophic form, they are called pulmonary embolisms, and they may be almost as common as the single heart attack that proves quickly fatal.

Janet, in a white strapless gown by Dior, looked like a cinch...
...large whitewashed studio in the London borough of Hammersmith works a wild-haired, chalk-faced old man who wryly likes to compare himself to the Prophet Elijah. "You have to pay for working alone for 40 years," Sculptor Leon Underwood says. "The ravens fed me; but since ravens do not have watches, they often came very irregularly." Today, at 71, Underwood does not have to depend so much on ravens. People have begun to buy his work, for when, after an eight-year hiatus, he finally consented to a one-man show in London two years ago, British critics raved...
